Needed the card urgently to buy a plane ticket, but now I wonder whether I should simply give up on Citi and use another CC instead?

After the end of the Aadvantage churn I stayed away from Citi until a month ago when I applied for a Premier card and was denied. Called recon and they said my lines of credit were too high but I wondered if they held a grudge. However I lowered my credit limits on other cards, reapplied and was instantly approved.

I got stranded at JFK earlier this year, and made a last minute Avios redemption for AA business class on their B772 (JFK-MIA). It cost me 16,500 Avios. I haven't tried to earn AA miles -- it seems very unattractive under the current regime.
